In This Moment, I Am Happy

 I just wanted to document a happy moment. I spent so many moments on the blog dumping out my anxiety. I'm sitting in my warm comfy bed after a day of PTO with my windows open. The night air is cool. It was sunny and warm today.

I woke up at 4:30a at a hotel on the beach with my relatives. I drove back to NC without incident. Listened to my CD player. I got gas at a random gas station (also without incident) at around 5a. I had money for gas. I had a car to put the gas in. I had legs and arms and eyes (with help of glasses) to do the actual task of filling my tank (and driving). 

I didn't have to take any meds or get assistance. I'm sure there's not 37 more years left that I'll be able to write this exact same post (but maybe).

I came home and far as I can tell, my house is still in tact. 

I parked my car that I own in front of the house that is still standing that I mortgage.

I took a warm shower. Wrapped in a clean towel. Put on some mildly priced lavendar lotion. Put on my warm robe and climbed into bed. 

On the way home from the beach, I stopped and bought bacon just because I wanted some.

I made scrambled eggs and baked bacon. I climbed back into my bed. Watched the latest episodes of Big Brother using a subscription to Paramount Plus that I treated myself to at the beginning of my vacation. 

It's been a spendy 4th quarter since October and this vacation week continued the trend. But it's okay. That's a problem for another day.

When I got hungry during the afternoon, I ordered 2 dishes from my new favorite African food restaurant. One was a dish I'd starred so  I could remember to try. 

It was tasty!

On the way home, I bought some more yummy staples to complement the second dish. I put one of the frozen items in the stand up freezer I bought last year because of the pandemic as a convenience item. 

I also bought chocolates on the second trip to the grocery store. I just ate a truffle before sitting down to type up this blog post.

I love a cool evening after a sunny day! 

This is my kind of Fall Weather.

So yes, today, in this moment, I am happy. My stomach is full. I am adequately housed and the temperature is just so. 

Money made almost everything today possible. (But so did love and support of my family and humans in general in all the days before. )

That is all.
